Netherlands September 2016

The new darling
of Dutch fleet buyers

The Dutch Alps

Sales reached a new peak this year (1.701), with sales down just 30% YoY, with the EV Share recovering slightly to 2,8%.

Looking at the Top 5 ranking,
the Monthly Best Seller award went for the second time in a row for the
Tesla Model S, with 227 deliveries, followed by three high end SUV's, two of them recent arrivals: The Audi Q7 e-Tron and Tesla Model X, both ending not that far from the leadership

The BMW 330e reached #4 and established a new personal best (175 units), being the only 2WD model in the Top 5.

With such ranking, it seems this market is becoming increasingly infected by the SUV-craze of its southern neighbor...

In the YTD ranking, the Californian
Sports Sedan increased the lead in September with the usual last-month-of-the-quarter-peak,
now it remains to be seen if the 91 units lead will be enough to secure the leadership for the rest of the year.

Climbers of the month were the Audi Q7 e-Tron,
up two positions to #8, while the Tesla Model X jumped 14 places to #10, with both models headed for a Top 5 position.

A successful newcomer is the new BMW 740e, registering 45 units and becoming the only successful plug-in on the F-Segment/Full-size Luxury class, at least until the new Panamera PHEV shows up...

Looking at the manufacturers
ranking, BMW's strong line up has helped it to maintain the leadership (22%),
while the good month of Tesla allowed it to climb one position and climb to Second Place and have 19% market share, dethroning the previous runner-up, Volvo.

If
we add regular hybrids to plug-ins, we have a surprise among hybrids, with the Kia Niro SUV outselling the regular hybrid Best Sellers, the Toyota
Yaris and Auris Hybrid. Is the SUV-craze also reaching hybrid buyers?

Plug-ins
are also represented, with the Tesla Model S reaching Fourth and the Audi Q7 e-Tron #5.
